What about Virgin, who now use Orange's network in addition to their own? Would it work for me?

Exactly what I have been looking for.

Originally tired on ARHD 3.6.0 ICS on Sensation XE following the original guide however was unable to amend default.prop thus caused issues with the libs.

Currently VI 3.5.0 now so will test this after a backup and keep you posted.

I tried it out on UK Wildfire S running CM7 on Orange network, the phone ran really slow after installing it even after multiple reboots, and was unable to connect to the Orange network at all when I turned off the WiFi, just 'No Signal'.

Hi,

When you say "You have to Edit your build.prop to have this line", do you mean that you just add that line as a new line to the build.prop, or do you change an existing line?

I'm kinda new at this so please excuse my ignorance!

Thanks,

Mike

Default No signal boost

Hi
I have rooted my wildfire s and gone through the process of modifying build.prop and flashing the signal boost
zip file. The result is a red house that never goes green. My Blackberry works fine on uma.

I placed a new rild.libpath line in my build.prop file was this correct or should I have modified an existing line?

cheers

Mike
